Self-Defense Training

Self-Defense Training - no time to study a fighting system for years but want the benefits of self-protection? These components from Mantis Boxing are streamlined for quick, effective training that can give you life saving skills in hours.

Core Defense - Get empowered and capable of defending yourself with easy to remember self-defense techniques and movements. Learn how to protect yourself from the most common types of attacks on the street.

Ground Defense - Succeed when a stronger, heavier attacker has you pinned on the ground. Use physics and leverage to control the situation so you can defend yourself and succeed.

Scenarios Training - A variety of scenarios pitted against our padded aggressors to see if you can get out and win the day.

Firearm Defense - Some of the best methods to effectively disarm an armed attacker. Pistol and long gun techniques included.

Fundamentals

Striking - focused sessions on the Striking of Mantis Boxing. Includes concepts, principles, and the training I use to improve your power, speed, and striking potential.

Kicking - capitalize on not only the power of the legs, but using them in conjunction with the hands to maximize your effectiveness. Learn the unique kicks found in Mantis Boxing that can devastate an opponent, how to generate more force, and our kicking principles to help you use them effectively.

Blocking - having amazing strikes is definitely a benefit in combative arts, but if we can't block that incoming punch, our game plan is lacking in a big way. Learn a simple, and highly effective blocking system that can keep pace with the modern fighting systems of the world.

Ground Defense - sometimes we end up on the ground. Without spending years studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, there are principles and skills you can learn to keep you safe while on the ground, and how and when to get back to your feet.

Hook, Clinch, Pluck - the three preliminary keywords of Mantis Boxing. Learn how to use the mantis hook, and get to the clinch where you can gain control of your opponent. The pluck comes next to setup some amazing takedowns, and submissions. This is a must have workshop for anyone interested in using the amazing grappling component of Mantis Boxing.

Basic Takedowns - four simple takedowns that can help you get an opponent to the ground. Train the Mantis Boxing Single/Double's, Anchor Drop, and Crashing Tide.

What's New

HEAVY ASSAULT - Go heavy, or go home! This striking combination, plucked right from the catalog of Mantis Boxing techniques passed down for centuries, is to overwhelm the opponent with big, destructive, blows. Connecting with the first one is ideal and effective, but if they duck, or move back, the second…

What's the difference between a Hook Punch and a Circle Punch? Are they really that different? Yes, and yes.

The Hook Punch is used at a closer range, similar to an uppercut. It works well when you are striking in tight, or engaged in a Clinch (Lǒu 摟). In here, a long range strike will extend beyond my opponent. We position the arm in a tighter hook shape to help…
